I (and several of my colleagues) have used CLONE (now in version3) for
pc (MS-DOS), a program from:

CLONE is actually a plasmid-manager which can handle both sequence-
and non-sequence based data (also in combination). CLONE has a lot
of restriction-enzymes as well as Klenow and exonucleases (5' and 3') for
making blunt-ends, - and you may chose orientation of insert-ligation
(when appropriate). CLONE also permits definition of FEATURES like
genes and markers (=single pos). There are also options for graphical
oputput of plasmids (probably best on a HP Laser) - and S&E have recently
released a follow-up to CLONE which is a plasmid graphical presentation
manager. I can recommend CLONE !
CLONE 3 is described in:
Peterson,E.A. and Ward,D.F. (1990) CLONE 3: plasmid drawing and
clone management software program for microcomputers.
BioTechniques [Jun 1990] 8(6):690-693
After all this, I guess it is important for me to state that:
I am not affiliated with, and I do not have any economic interests or
other connections with Scientific & Educational Software.
The contents of this letter should therefore be regarded an
independent "product review".
